From a vintage Simplicity pattern, whose main attraction is of course the scallops.

I love how much engineering went into this pattern. The scallops are lined and slipstitched over the straight bodice panel. The waistband lies free at the top edge, the ties form a bow at the back, the straps cross behind and button to the waistband . . . . nothing is left to chance.

Anna , what a lovely apron. I love the scallops. I see the latest post being 2010, I hope you see this. Aprons don't have to be plain and functional all the time. I wear "Edwardian" aprons and "Jewels" pinafores both in full length to cover my ankle length dresses. Similar to this https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/188085368/full-plain-apron-made-to-measure-apron?ref=sr_gallery_28&ga_search_query=amish+apron&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery I do have one "fancy" pinafore with ruffles I wear when entertaining. I do hope you are still making those lovely aprons. They are very feminine as well as being practical. Blessings, Grace.

Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.

Photography

Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
